The individual training phases address different focal points depending on the time of the season and build progressively on each other. In each 8-week cycle you have the possibility to choose between training plans with different training time per week (10-12 h or 12-15 h).
If you have more or less time, you can flexibly delete training weeks, insert special weeks (training camp, circumference week, etc.) or run through individual parts of the training phases twice.

Using the filter function and the descriptions, you will find exactly the right plan that fits your level.
The training plan templates are each divided into 8-week blocks that build on each other.
